Rabbis for Human Rights petitioned the High Court of Justice on the basis that the current military system governing planning in Area C of the Palestinian Territories is discriminatory against Palestinians and not based on objective and professional standards. The evidence that this is true continues to mount. We urge the Israeli government to ensure planning for Palestinians in Area C is based on professional and egalitarian standards.

From Haaretz:
“The following day Netanyahu met with Kerry and proposed a series of significant gestures to the Palestinians in the West Bank, including permits for massive construction by Palestinians in Area C, the area of the West Bank under Israeli military and civilian control.”
